GILL - Authorities have identified the body of a man recovered by the Turners Falls Fire Department on the Gill side of the Connecticut River last Tuesday as William Bartos, 48, of Northfield. They believe he is the man who jumped off the French King Bridge earlier this month.

Bartos' body was found by people fishing in the river about a mile south of the bridge, according to the Northwestern District Attorney's Office. The identification was made by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. No foul play is suspected.

According to a spokeswoman for the Northwestern District Attorney's Office, Bartos apparently left his car near the bridge when he jumped on June 2. Police searched the river for several days afterwards. A number of suicides are committed by people jumping from the Route 2 bridge, which is 140 feet above the river.
